San Blas

Mexico so far:

Guaymas - really just had to pull over and stay somewhere for the night, but ran into some people down from a church in Iowa. We were able to hang with them at church and then drive out to a rural little village with them where they helped conduct a service. Later they introduced us to the Mexican hot-dog: bacon wrapped with a whole litany of ingredients heaped on, and then handed over by the vendor as if he were handing off a precious gem. Very impressive, but not better than Tony Packo's just yet.

Mazatlan - beach city, ran into a poor dude from Colorado who lost his wallet, passport and all his money within his first couple of nights. Of course that ju

st goes to show why you shouldn't go out drinking Tequila and

 getting hammered in a strange city with all your valuables with you. Some nice things about Mazatlan, but it didn't strike our fancy too much.

San Blas - chill beach town where we've been for about 5 days now. We're staying at Stoner's Surf Camp in a tiny little Cabana up on stilts. We took a surfing lesson from a former p

ro who runs the place, and then went out for a second time today by ourselves. Note the sweet pics of us riding the waves. We've pretty much been swimming, throwing the frisbee, reading, writing all day down at Stoners, and then at night we head to town to eat at various taco or hotdog stands. We've also discovered a sweet 10cent arcade to play Contra, Streetfighter and other games at. Life is good in San Blas. 

In another couple of days we will move on, maybe down the coast, maybe inland to see some cities.
